Nice comp, but for that kind of money, I'll be getting a used Honda CBR600.

With a custom paint job of course.

Shocked

But TBH I really don't know how good of a comp I can come up with. Very Happy

CASE: $269

Lian-Li C-V2000B PLUS II Black Aluminum

This case is probably bigger than your house. Starting with the inside out, it is like a mansion for your sexy computer. As a keen observer of case construction and design, I can tell you flat out, this one dominates.

MOBO: $259.99

eVGA nForce 680i SLI

That thing is the nastiest fucking board ever. Good features in the software and hardware. 3 PCIx16 slots for me to own your fuckin' face in.

CPU: $1,499.00

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 Kentsfield 2.66GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache


Well... no shit. If you're going to go top dog, go top dog. If you get the best motherboard, then you better have the best processor. Look, the motherboard is like the throne and the CPU is the king. A good throne needs a good king. Okay, really, it's the other way around, but you get the point. Sure it's pricey, but it's the best available.

GPUx3: 1919.97 (639.99 * 3)

PNY GeForce 8800GTX

This video card is actually your bastard father. If it wasn't so huge, I'd buy three. Oh wait, I can do that because I'm going to build a custom cooling system - thus I can remove that fan. How bout that.

I'll start off by configuring two to run in SLI. Now you may already know I don't like SLI. Yet, I have a lot of money, so I can not only buy SLI - but I can use it as it was intended to be used - hi-res. Anyone see where I'm going?

The third one will be used to power two local LCD screens.

That's it for now. I've already burnt a ton of cash. Prepare to continue to be fucked tomorrow Smile

top notch..... really my comp is now 2 months old and runs all the games in highest gear.... and who cares if it does 80 or 300 FPS, you'll never ever see the difference....and too anyone here who says so: your lying, since TFT's only go up too max 75 Herz refresh, which is 75 frames Wink

oh and you guys are so lacking:

A good throne needs a good king. Okay, really, it's the other way around, but you get the point. Sure it's pricey, but it's the best available.

GPU:
PNY GeForce 8800GTX (x2)

This video card is actually your bastard father. If it wasn't so huge, I'd buy three. Oh wait, I can do that because I'm going to build a custom cooling system - thus I can remove that fan. How bout that.

HDD:

Western Digital 75GB(15K RPM)(X2):

This little bitch will rock your socks, litterally, cause it makes so much noise that even a good sound dampening case won't fix it, but hey, in RAID 0 it will out load everyone

Seagate 750GB
So you can store your pr0.....games Wink

PSU:
Enermax Galaxy 1000W

THE heart of your system, without it, it won't run that's why I've came up with this, the best of the best and it needs it's own group Wink

RAM:
Corsair XMS2 Dominator Twin2X2048-8888C4DF (x2)

4GB of the worlds fastest memory ever! With this you'll even have 3 extra fans, but hey, you are the fastest Wink



what all of this costs? I have no idea, I could search it up in euros....
Anyways I guess over $5000 Razz so have fun this is on of the best setups I can make(prolly even better if I search a better Mobo Razz)

The only reason anyone would want to reach 300 fps is for bragging rights.
